Manhattan

Perhaps the most famous, and riffed, cocktail in the world, The Manhattan, typically a rye-based cocktail, relies on a basic formula of two-parts whiskey to one-part vermouth. The composition of whiskey & vermouth can be tweaked to deliver many different traditional cocktails (Perfect Manhattan, Reverse Manhattan, Brooklyn, Red Hook, Greenpoint, Rob Roy, etc.) . As the story goes, The Manhattan was invented in the late 19th century at New York City’s Manhattan Club and immediately became a smashing success with the socialite crowd.
